I this this is a particularly insightful stance and it immediately reminded me of an application that already does this.
The thick-client MS Outlook will let you know when you have new mail, but there's also a "send/receive" button that forces a sync with the server and lets you know the result of that action.
- hxtk 9y agoI thought about outlook, too, but for the opposite reason: their web client overrides ctrl+r, making the way I force a refresh incongruous with the rest of the web.
- digi_owl 9y agothat is another reason i am not much fond of "webapps". Take Youtube for example. If i scroll down to read some comments (yeah i know, i live dangerously for some reason that escapes me) and want to go quickly back up to the video, the natural reflex for me is to hit the home key. But for some loony toons reason Google had decided to hijack the home key to mean "rewind video the 0 and start playing"!
